Summary
The 2021 breakouts list will feature a lot of second-year players. We address the confidence we have in that group and then reveal our favorite breakouts. Jamey discusses Cam Akers (4:40) and Dave tells you why he's high on Chase Claypool (12:36). And we try to figure out if CeeDee Lamb should be the first Cowboys WR drafted (15:00) ... News and notes (21:00) and then a lot more breakouts. At QB (24:35), Joe Burrow makes the cut, but can Ryan Tannehill actually be even better than he was last season? We also go on a "Russell Wilson for MVP" tangent (31:40). At TE (34:50), we'll tell you why you can spend a late pick on Jonnu Smith. Plus outlooks for Tyler Higbee and Dallas Goedert ... Breakout RBs (41:30) are mostly Year 2 guys, but Najee Harris could be better than all of them! And finally, our WR breakouts (49:30) include Marquise Brown and Terry McLaurin ...
